Whether you were able to tune in live (thanks!) or you're dropping by to get a tl;dr, we're here to give you a recap of some highlights from today's community stream: MMR UPDATE As you may remember, back in 10.1.0, we updated how MMR is calculated. While kills and escapes continue to be an aspect of MMR calculations, they…

You'll notice a little change to Score Events with this year's Haunted by Daylight, so we wanted to give you a look behind the curtain! What's changing? We're removing unique Score Events for seasonal event hooks and gens. In the past during events, you would get both the regular AND the event-specific Score Event when…

Haunted by Daylight's back and we've made some changes based on your feedback: 👻When it came to the Void, we know it didn't always feel worth it to go there, from the lack of looping opportunities for Survivors to Killers feeling it hurt gen pressure. To help bring the action to YOU, we've removed the Void and brought…

Hello everybody, As you’re all aware, we are currently in our 10th year of operating Dead by Daylight as a live game. While the dev team is looking at numerous ways to update, improve, and modernize the game to carry us through the next 10 years, we are doing this on the community side of things as well. When looking at…

@CountOfTheFog Our dear Count, friend and community chief for all things updates, was recently in a serious accident. When I was able to briefly speak with him, he was in a lot of pain and facing surgery. He was also really upset about not being able to attend the event in Canada today. He was so eager and excited to meet…

It defeats the purpose of the mode. And let’s be honest, it’s a crutch. It only exists because BHVR because BHVR doesn’t think people are smart enough to play killer without help. In a perfect game Houndmasters dog and Pinheads box are the only things that should give KI. The rest is handholding.

I need to ask you guys questions about matchmaking because this is really getting on my nerves. In every survivor match I am in, my teammates are all Prestige 10 or under. Mind you, I play as an ace who is Prestige 19, but still not high-level or skilled at all. EVERY SINGLE killer match I play, I am facing AT LEAST 1…

As it seems, the forums are still operating. I have a question regarding Jason's speed while in Omnipresent Mode. The Wiki states that he moves at 8 m/s, while ingame it says 7 m/s. I'd assume the ingame version is correct but I can't be certain. Does anyone know the actual numbers here?

There is no place to write feedback for gameplay/mechanics anymore now that the forms is closing or in process of. Where do I post? Reddit? The team will never see it? Discord? There are no proper channels to post just people post cat/dog photos…I dont know what to do.

Locker grabs, window grabs, fountain grabs and especially generator grabs all take too long and in most cases if someone with a flashlight is around the save is pretty easy, practically free for anyone with more than 100 hrs as survivor. If 2 healthy survivors with flashlights work on a gen in the open they don't even have…

is it just me or is The Lich (Vecna) slept on a lot? I never see him as survivor (ty to Refined for showing showing all of those techs/tricks in his videos)

No I'm not complaining about tunneling in general, i tend to be understanding of the concept. The thing I have an issue with is the worst kind of tunneling. Standard tunneling is whatever, if you find a double hooked surv and a no hook surv on a gen, you have a choice and the double hooked surv is the tactical choice every…

Everyone knows a spider killer is frequently requested. Thing is, why is arachnophobia treated so differently than other phobias e.g. coulrophobia? Is this the reason why we can't have a spider as a selectable killer?

And getting ggez thown at me every time, such fun.

friday at 6pm i was playing dbd fine, i turned it off to launch a new game and when i came back i got the infamous bug mentioned in the title. i've reset dns, deleted caches, verified files, reinstalled game, and verified files again to no avail. it kind of baffles me that this issue is in the game still considering i…

Behvior just will leave the forums to wilt and disappear into the fog? I mean, I know they said the will forsaken the forum but it is still up and running, so im a little confused! News about november incoming updates/changes etc would ever be posted? I really dislike going to socials for news, so forums is the main source…

Modifiers have been around since February 2024. We've had 4 Modifiers. Lights Out, 4 times including the current iteration. My Little Oni, only happened once in April 2024 for 48 hours. Chaos Shuffle, 8 times. 2v8, at least 10 times. It's been over 2.5 years since Modifiers were introduced. Please try some crazy stuff as 1…

I'm starting to get worried here. I want this banner!

This is a screenshot of a video, where a Bully squad loses and continues to claim that bullying the killer is fun, we've come to this guys. Bhvr created this community by over-pampering the survs

It's funny how they squirm. They truly caught a light in a bottle with this game otherwise this company would've already been sold to the highest bidder 😂 If Mandy hasn't been fired yet after that fiasco then I truly have lost all hope on them and I'll never touch their game ever again.

as title says

Greetings, friends of the Fog! For the very last time here on the Forums, I hope this discussion finds you doing well. By know I'm sure you are that the DBD Forums' days are numbered. It will remain until this year's Halloween, then it will be shut down, as per the recent announcement. And well… it would be an…

hi, since my thread was unnecessarily moved to off-topic with no reason provided when this platform is supposed to be dead, in an effort to preserve visibility im making a new thread. if you are interested in participating in a community-managed version of these forums, i am hosting my own at https://fog-dwellers.com sign…

Hate that this has to be my last post on the forums, but I really can't let this go unsaid: This is the official DBD twitch account acknowledging that giving every DLC to a known racist and homophobe wouldn't be received well. We're already seeing an uptick in the worst kinds of people commenting on posts with their…

so now that we have this back end thingy in place and killers like Chucky and pyramid head got number changes and tweaks can we do the same for skull merchant? Or are we gonna go into 2027 without anything?

over 2k hours and i literally just faced my first wesker. Mind u this killer isnt even a rare pick. I got decimated if that counts for anything, really fun power tho!

Being the forum seems to just be sticking around, thought I had about the updated MMR system. Does it send killers who Tunnel up the MMR ladder faster than those who spread around? Important points - MMR is on a 1 for 1 comparison. Killer performance is still compared to survivor to determine MMR gain/loss. The value one…

With the closing of the forums I've got one more shot to shoot. *** Please add Shanoa and Simon Belmont as Legendary skins for Trevor Belmont. *** I can understand that during the Castlevania chapter release, something was decided behind the scenes to pump out as much content in 1 sitting. Most were fine with that and see…

well…we seem to still be alive so im going to take advantage and ask and discuss everyones thoughts on Art/The Terrifier. How do we feel about his power and such? i actually think hes quite balanced and bringing Dramaturgy for killers is such a fun concept

Question/suggestion about new game mode that could be funny and change the gameplay a bit. Feel free to discuss in comments what could be added/changed etc. If anyone played TF2 with Saxton Hale gamemode, You already know what I have in mind. There is a person on YT (JayDaddy) that had a compilation of Horror movie killers…

Screw your matchmaking. Absolute trash set up

This is a French extremist psychological horror movie from 2008. It’s about the lengths people will go to obtain information, as well as touches on the morality and ethics of such. Some will say this is just a really gross horror film, but I would argue it’s one of the most thought provoking horror films ever made. The…

So! This may very well be my very last news report as the forum post pigeon, and boy howdy how fitting it should end on this one. You may recall Mandy saying that they were going to send out emails to the addresses we signed up to the forums with. I imagine, however, that many of you have not received this email. Neither…

The best killer in the game, alongside Hillbilly. Anyways buh bye.

Its over. Was fun while it lasted. But to be honest it felt like a time waste in the last years. Just a repeat of always the same, 80% anyway. But the other 20% were interesting.

So here we are. End of the line. I was not here in the beginning, but I came along during the summer event in 2023. Still, during this relatively short span of time as compared to how long certain members has been around, the forums has been a great place to speak my mind about the game. I am very sad to see it go.…

Dead By Daylight is a Player VS Player game — DBD is a pvp game. Before it is a casual game, before a party game, it is pvp. If it pits one or more players against 1 or more player then that makes it pvp. 2. Your fun isnt their responsibility — Killers arent responsible for making the game fun for the survivors and…

You've seen the news, our patch of fog disperses next month, marking the end of our little subcommunity. I've spent a bit too much time here, waiting for responses, typing out replies, or just reading what you all had to say. Now that it's ending, I honestly feel a little untethered, like a small part of my life was rubbed…

I've been reading over people's last posts, a lot of them discussing problems of moderation, but as we get into our final hours one related issue crossed my mind. BHVR needs to allow more open criticism of CCs. Especially given the level of influence they have with the game. In the past month there have been an Otz and…

Hand it over, that thing. Your Dark Mist. For my lady's trial.

Personally I'm not a fan. Imo mori's are for fun, if I run a Mori token or a perk that allows me to Mori, I'm doing it so I can give someone a catastrophic root canal with deathslinger, get a tasteful ghost face selfie or marvel at how bill keeps that cigarette in his mouth after getting his head used as a chewtoy by demo.…

Scour the area for pumpkins to gather the energy needed to repair the generator. This is far more engaging than the tedious process of just crouching down to repair a generator. Although the current generator repair mechanic—which frequently triggers QTEs—is quite interesting, many people claim it’s a bug, so I’m not sure…

Hi, I'm Grimmy. I'm the guy that somehow managed to predict CoH's nerf/rework/change to being an altruistic healing perk, complete with auras. It's true. I was only off on how the levels scaled. I felt like a prophet. I still think Artist needs a unique SFX when she damages survivors from afar/with her birds. Seriously,…

Infrequent poster, especially the past number of years. Opened a forum account in 2019. The arguments were often circular and repetitive, with little progress as a collective being made. Still, it is sad that it is coming to an end. If nothing else this was a place to browse if I was on the road and eating out somewhere in…

Thanks for all the fish. Five years, ten thousand posts, interesting discussions and infuriating arguments. I had a hell of a time here, and I'll miss the forums a lot. No more scrolling through threads while eating, no more word walls defending my points, I'll finally shut these tabs down after five years of being a…

Considering the upcoming Terrifier, which allow the killer to give survivors the middle finger, and the Judgment, which penalize survivors for “t-bagging,” I believe that DBD is currently too killer-focused, and survivors should receive at least minor improvements to balance things out

Hello and happy Halloween to the rest of us leftovers of the forums It's been an interesting ride for me here from when I made an excuse of a post to make a account here in 21, to when my brothers and I decided to share this account for a laugh, to each time the forums rioted for each change, to a mysterious and infamous…

It's time. The forums are about to close, so I wanted to say some final things. I've never been good with words, so pls excuse me. I'm known here as a Pig and Sadako fanboy. When I started playing the game in late 2020 - early 2021, I would have never thought to actually leave a mark on this game by helping Sadako to her…

When the decision was made years ago it was clearly needed, but I think something significant changed a while back rendering this goal obsolete. Back when unhook attempts were removed, the overinflated kill rates disappeared(1 out of 3 games a Dwight was suiciding on first hook even at 2 gens left), and the devs have…

Losing the forums today, personally I'm absolutely dreading it. I love chatting about games that I love and this forum has been a great outlet for that. Going to miss talking with the people on here hopefully the alternate forum @Skittlesthehusky has made will be a good backup. And a sincere and heartfelt F**k you to the…

Its been a very very long time since I last made a discussion on the forums, mostly cause I don’t play the game as much as I used to back in high school but nevertheless I’m gonna miss forums, I remember the old forums before they moved it over to this site and I very much so remember being able to LOL react things until…

MMR STINKS
